First-year programs

The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is a multi-faceted leadership development program for first-semester first-year students (freshman and transfer). The ELP provides first-year students with an opportunity to immediately connect to the °®¶¹´«Ã½ community and greater °®¶¹´«Ã½ community by practicing leadership and participating in a high impact learning experience.

°®¶¹´«Ã½â€™s First Year Experience seminars (UNIV 101/103) are two-credit-hour courses designed to connect °®¶¹´«Ã½ first-year students to a faculty and professional staff member on campus in a small class setting. They provide students with an opportunity to explore an academic topic of interest, cultivate critical thinking and writing skills, and assist them in making a successful transition to °®¶¹´«Ã½.
